New review regarding human brain clock research and theory

Hot off the press, in the prestigious Annual Review of Psychology has an excellent review (Allman et al., 2013) of contemporary research and theory regarding many aspects of the human brain clock (brain clock timing; temporal g).  I will be adding this to the Key Research Article blogroll section of this blog.

A few images from the article to give an advance peek.  [Click on images to enlarge]

Timing intervention (IM) improves functioning of soldiers with TBI & new treatment resource for soldiers

Important and exciting new study just published in the journal Neuropsychology this week. [Click on image to enlarge].  Access available under "IM Research" blogroll at this blog (Brain Clock blog).  Additional information and exciting new treatment resource for soldiers with TBI can be found at the @Attention Fund.

Interactive Metronome Sharp Brains 2013 Virtual Summit - manuscripts mentioned in today's IM expo presentation

Today I am co-presenting on the science of Interactive Metronome at the 2013 Sharp Brains Virtual Summit. I will present a 10 minute overview of the science behind IM (not an easy task given the time constraints). For those who participate in the summit and want access to almost all the articles I mentioned, click here to download a zip file that includes the manuscripts.
